Where to hunt?
 

I want to start small game hunting but when i ask my dad if i can get a pellet gun he always answerss in the same way " Where are you going to shoot it. Our back yard is to small to shoot and ill be hitting the houses. So where can i hunt small game (Squirrel or Rabbit or Birds Maybe) in Illinois. Like i live about an hour south of Chicago and will drive for an hour or two.Also my dad hunts deer and stuff but not in the past 11 years so i never went so i have some help. Also if there is a place what gun should i get. i would like to spend no more than $200 but i can go a little over. Again for the animals i mentioned above. Thanks

Any large woods around you not within a vity/town area, Just get permission from the owners, or if theres public hunting land just go there. And for a pellet gun idk, i havnt used one of them in years. I hardly ever go squirrel hunting anymore.

Shoot the neighbors cat.

I wonder why hunter's have such a bad reputation with antis?

I would look into public ground that has trees. If you find trees more than likely there will be squirrels. You probably wont have much competition either.

As for a gun this is what I would recommend, the ammo is fairly cheap and readily available. Walmart should have everything you need.

Lol my walmart has like 4-6 airsoft guns and a red ryder. Wish i wasnt close to Chicago!!!! People have problems with Walmart selling airsoft guns even when theyre clear pistols.

Also what do you mean by public ground? The local park :D Whats the easiet way to find it?

Also i kind of need an air rifle

Ya... I have always wondered that to. I hate tree huggers.

This gun has killed many a critter for me.... http://www.crosman.com/airguns/664SB
Its a good price to.

That seems a little weak for rabbits but I could be wrong anyways I'll mostly be squirels but still I'm confused where?
